I use GLM-5.3, Qwen3.8, Claude (all of 'em), GPT Sol/Luna/Terra across direct API calls + local models where I can (128GB Macbook Pro)... The harness and whether the model or underlying system prompts know how to make the best use of iterative LLM calls makes such a big difference...

For example: one-off articles on a news topic (e.g., "Update me on the US-Canada relations") yields very similar results across all models... But "run a web search, write a draft perspective from three points of view, and structure data around it" will make everything but Claude + GPT struggle.

But refrain from unfounded allegations of AI slop or incompetence. Gatekeeping is even worse.

EDIT: you keep editing your comments. I'm going to stop engaging with you since one can't even have a linear discussion. Good luck with your research and ideas. If you are an expert on Japan, I encourage you to share your views in the general comments here.

I see you edited your comment. Yes, we use LLMs to monitor news --- otherwise we wouldn't be able to read Japanese news sites or policy documents. However, the articles and analysis are written "manually". I take this very seriously --- the only "AI" is spelling + grammar checking.

Private credit has a million other problems right now, like bad loans to auto parts dealers[1], iron traders[2], and so many more.

The issue is lack of due process in private credit. THAT is the huge @#$%ing problem.

I've been paying for order-level data feeds on stocks and one thing you'll find is that a lot of the 'sensitive' trades will be anonymized or broken down in different ways to obfuscate who is trading. Citadel would still be able to see there's a surprising level of interest in a certain stock but might not be able to deduce it's one actor. A broker working for SA should know they need to do this, as it helps the broker do better via commissions, etc. too.

My understanding is that Citadel negotiated directly with SA to buy the book, so the final trades were likely taking place outside of the formal market feeds.
